Description:
In this intensive training, therapists will learn to assess and intervene from a somatic perspective while using EMDR, to enhance the therapy process. Heightened awareness of the functioning of the body and nervous system aid the therapist in pacing the work well. This approach taps into our natural inclination towards completion, integrating well with the EMDR AIP model. Therapists can increase their skills in tracking and developing resiliency, crucial for the many moments in therapy when our clients struggle to stay regulated.

Participants will learn and experience how to:
• Closely assess momentary levels of activation
• Pace the work with attention to resiliency and the “window of tolerance”
• Observe dynamics of internal processing not available from client self-reporting
• Utilize the power of “sustained awareness”
• Work with the inherent dilemmas between drives for completion and protection
• Track subtleties of dissociative dynamics
• Identify and reprocess early survival strategies
• Increase integration of shifts that emerge in each moment of the therapy process
• Enhance the experience of existing and new resources
• Nurture the development of discernment and self-awareness skills

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
